The Great Muppet Caper finds the Muppets at their best, as they have the uncanny ability to break the fourth wall and turn it into comic gold. Caper does this exceedingly well, all while delivering a solid, entertaining adventure. Kermit and Fozzie star as twin brother investigative journalists who travel to England to uncover who stole Lady Holiday’s diamonds. As per a Muppet movie, there are some great cameos (including a brilliant one by Peter Falk) and several fun musical numbers; such as '”Happiness Hotel.” An enjoyable watch for both children and adults, The Great Muppet Caper holds up remarkably well.
